This is the most important part of the news:
"GAO also found that some vendors had such poor security, access to one machine allowed access to large networks of machines in operation during elections."
My bet is this affects both Diebold & Sequoia. If Black Box Voting or someone can hack the machines to prove you can control an entire cluster of election machines, as the GAO says, then these will be immediately de-certified and brought into court!
Just think of the implications: If its proven these machines have a backdoor that can control all the machines at once, NO ONE will want them.
It will also prove that it was used in previous elections (2004 and so on ring a bell) and smack the movement upside the head.
I request that such a testing and hacking is done & performed. It should be performed right here in California, or Ohio, on just normal machines to show that the vendors were lying.
By the way- this group of neocons whos really behind the voting machine bullshit, are a bunch of dual-loyalties liberals. (Try wall street bankers..)

Actually, it’s Saint Joseph County, Indiana, not ‘South Bend County’ .
who ever that is behind it doesn’t have to be liberal or cons….I’d do it for only a few hundred bucks. It is that simple. Some regular joe can do this, it’s not that big of deal. It obviously favored the neocons, so…..
